I think that is fair.
MIT is now the project license.

What Hacker News says
6 sourcesI don't think this license https://github.com/openchatai/OpenCopilot/blob/main/LICENSE is compatible with the tagline "Open source AI sidekick for everyone".
"The Licensee may not distribute, sublicense, sell, or resell the Software, in whole or in part, without explicit written permission from the Licensor"
I have no problem at all with non-open-source licenses, provided they make it clear that they're not open source licenses.
[ UPDATE: I noticed that the README doesn't claim to be open source - but the https://opencopilot.so/ website and the description field at the top right of the GitHub repository does. ]
Is that a known license? I couldn't tell where it came from - it ends with "please contact [Your Contact Information]" which suggests that it's a template from somewhere. But which template?

162 points · Open discussionShow HN: OpenChat – Open-Source LLM chatbots console
Hi HN,
tl;dr: Run and create custom ChatGPT-like bots with OpenChat, embed and share these bots anywhere. It's built for the average user with a focus on simplicity, and, you can selfhost it: https://github.com/openchatai/OpenChat/
This is Gharbat. Two weeks ago, I was trying to play around with LLMs, especially the open-source ones, but for some reason, it felt a bit complex (at least for the average user).
So, I decided to build OpenChat, OpenChat is an everyday user chatbot console that simplifies the utilization of large language models. It serves as a central hub for managing multiple customized chatbots.
Currently, we only support GPT models (working on adding other opensource LLMs). You can create unlimited chatbots from your PDFs, websites (and many other integrations coming soon). Then, you can integrate these bots anywhere (your

website, Slack, and many other integrations on the roadmap).
I have a very ambitious roadmap, something like one command to install, and two minutes to create your chatbot using your favorite LLM. No rocket science or anything like -insert this thing here that's extremely hard for an average user to do-.
Some examples on what you can do now with OpenChat:
- Create a customer support chatbot by just providing your website, then embed this bot on your website as chat widget.
- Create a chatbot and upload large pdf document (+400 pages) as data source, then chat with this document.
- Provide multiple data sources for the same chatbot.
- Have a full control on your stuff, it's open source.
What you will be able to do soon:
- Support Slack integration (allow users to connect chatbots with their Slack workspaces)
- Support Intercom integration (enable users to sync chat conversations with Intercom)
- Support offline open-source models (e.g., Alpaca, LLM drivers)
- Support Confluence, Notion, Office 365, and Google Workspace as data sources.

I'd be happy if you give it a try and let me know what you think and what you expect it to offer in the future.
